Plan now uses a vehicle preset, 90% start SOC, Wh/km from preset, and cost-aware ranking on longer corridors. Adjust on the planner page if needed.
This rates how much planning the route needs, not road quality. Charger spacing comes from stations recorded in the EV Grids cache and changes as coverage grows.
Monsoon rain on NH27 and hill approaches raises landslide and washout risk. Range drops from humidity, slow convoys, and detours — enable hills & weather adjustment and plan backup stops.
Suggested planner settings: 32% reserve SOC · 38% search threshold · hills & weather on (includes monsoon adjustment Jun–Sep)
Ranked by estimated charging-stop count on ~120 km via NH10, using each preset's configured range and consumption. This is not a recommendation based on price, safety, comfort, or overall vehicle quality.
Fewest estimated stops
MG Comet EV
~230 km range · Often no DC stop
At ~120 km, this leg is within a full charge for a MG Comet EV (~230 km ARAI) when you start at 90% SOC and keep a 20% reserve.
Jump to chargers, overnight hotels, meal stops, or pick your EV model — each page links back here and opens the trip planner pre-filled for Siliguri → Gangtok.
Popular searches for Siliguri → Gangtok — each page answers yes/no, typical charging stops, and opens the planner.
Long-tail guides for NH10 — operators, state hubs, and NH-specific EV charging notes linked to this route.
Leave Siliguri at 88–92% SOC with your real vehicle preset selected (not a random long-range SUV). For ~120 km on NH10, EV Grids will place DC searches when estimated SOC crosses your threshold. Permit / ID checks at Rangpo — keep SOC for delays. Return leg downhill recovers some range. Charge to what the next leg needs — often 80–90% — then open Google Maps with your chosen primary and backup as waypoints toward Gangtok.
Illustrative only — open Plan now above for ranked stops with your vehicle preset and live charger data.
Siliguri to Gangtok covers about 120 km in 4–5 hours on NH10 (Northeast India). Hill state entry — charge in Siliguri before the climb. Real consumption still depends on speed, AC, payload, and elevation — enter Wh/km from recent drives instead of brochure range.
NH10 toward Gangtok adds permits and delays — budget SOC for waiting, not just kilometres.
Siliguri → Gangtok is a short hop (~120 km). Most highway EVs starting above 75–80% SOC need no DC stop, but still select a backup near Gangtok if you left home below 60%. This is a good first test of EV Grids: plan, open Maps, ignore the urge to skip backups.
Local notes drivers actually use: Permit / ID checks at Rangpo — keep SOC for delays. Return leg downhill recovers some range.
Humidity and pre-monsoon storms on NH16/NH19 matter. Do not assume a Bengal pin is as reliable as a Hyderabad–Bangalore plaza.
Open Plan now to pre-fill Siliguri and Gangtok. Pick your vehicle, set start SOC honestly, and keep search threshold above reserve. Prefer lower-cost if you have memberships; Fastest if you only want high-kW DC.
This is an EV Grids calculation, not an observation: 120 km at roughly 165 Wh/km needs on the order of 20 kWh of road energy, and the planner keeps a 20% reserve in hand.
A compact (about 40 kWh usable) pack reaches about 195 km before reserve, so it can usually complete this leg without charging. A mid-size (about 50 kWh usable) pack reaches about 240 km before reserve, so it can usually complete this leg without charging. A long-range (about 70 kWh usable) pack reaches about 340 km before reserve, so it can usually complete this leg without charging.
At 120 km this is a single leg for most presets — the question is whether you start high enough, not where to stop.
Drive faster, run the air conditioning harder, or load the car and every number above moves the wrong way. Enter your own Wh/km on the planner and it will re-space the stops for NH10 accordingly.
On NH10 you will typically see a mix of Tata Power, Jio-BP Pulse, Statiq, ChargeZone, plaza DISCOM guns, and the occasional mall DC. EV Grids ranks by detour and reliability, not brand loyalty. Memberships change ₹/kWh; they do not reserve a stall.
Do not wait indefinitely at a dark site between Siliguri and Gangtok. Use the backup you already selected; if a swap breaks a later leg, use Fix trip. Keep operator apps logged in. Hotel or mall Type 2 is a valid recovery if you have hours — better than a tow.
Report a permanently closed or moved pin via EV Grids feedback with this corridor slug (siliguri-to-gangtok) so badges and ranking can be updated.
